All-NLC teams released

The Soldotna football team dominated the Northern Lights Conference, finishing with a 5-0 record, so it’s no surprise the Stars also dominated the Northern Lights Conference honors released Saturday.

Soldotna swept all five of the major awards, and also claimed 9 of 15 on the offensive first team and 6 of 13 on the defensive first team.

Daniel Rosin was named the Lineman of the Year, while Jake Kooly was the Defensive Player of the Year, Colton Young was the Offensive Player of the Year, Galen Brantley Jr. was the Coach of the Year and defensive coordinator Phil Leck was the Assistant Coach of the Year.

Rosin also made the first team at offensive tackle and interior lineman. Kooly received first-team nods at inside linebacker and fullback. Young made the first team as a quarterback, return specialist and defensive back.

Drew Gibbs and Dylan Smith also made the first team on both sides of the ball. Gibbs received nods at halfback and outside linebacker, while Smith made the grade at interior lineman and guard.

Other honorees on first-team offense for the Stars were Tyler Howell at wide receiver, Trevor Walden at tight end and Reece Roberts at center. The other defensive honorees are Blake Riley at utility player.

Kenai Central, which finished second in the conference with a lone loss to Soldotna, got four nods apiece on the offensive and defensive first teams.

Jace Baker and Nolan Scarlett made it on both sides of the ball. Baker was honored at interior lineman and long snapper, while Scarlett was the kicker and punter.

Also for the Kards, Jace Daniels was a first-team halfback, Zack Koziczkowski was a first-team guard, Chase Logan was a first-team inside linebacker and TJ Wagoner was a first-team defensive back.
